Dispatches from Louisville, KY, say that re-
turns from twO-th1rds of the precincts in the city
OF Louisville show democratic gains. Kenton
County, part Of Mr.. Carisles district, including
COvtngton, shows that the union labor party

the democrats polling about their usual vote.
Prohibition is defeated In Jefferson County, Re-
turns from county towns in the State giving
can gains, compared with the vote polled Tor
Blaine. The labor and prohibition vote are
smaller than was anticipated. In Louisville the
democratic ~ a jOrlty is about 1000 a democratic
gain or nearly 1000 over the last election. The
city elects solid democratic legislative ticket
and defeats local option by heavy majority. The
county and city give a democratic majority Of
5000. The democratic tickets estimated majority
In the state will be from 5000 TO 35 900. Gen.

The Arthur Kill Rridre.

The Arthur Kill RridRe.
IT CAN BE BUILT By THE BALTIMORE AND oHIo-N
IMPORTANT DECISION BY JUSTICE BRADLEY
Justice Bradley, In the Supreme Court OF New
Jersey, yesterday dissolved the Injunction re-
straining the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from
building bridge over the Arthur Kill, and he
also denied motion to appeal from this decision
He held that Congress had the right to confer the
authority on the Baltimore and Ohio Co. to build
the bridge, and that the words OF the act were
sufficiently broad to give this authority After
dwelling on this phase OF the case at some length
the justice says:
"In our Judgment, II Congress itself has the
power to construct a bridge across navigable
stream for the furtherance Of commerce among
States, 1t may authorize the same to be done by
agents, whether individuals or corporations,
already existing and concerned in the enterprise.
The objection that Congress cannot confer power
on State corporation Is untanable. The power
to regulate commerce between the several
se most and erms a
The power to regulate as applied to govern
ment, has a most extensive application. With
regard to commerce 1t has been expressly held
but extends to Seamen, ships, navigation, and the
appliances and facilities OF commerce and it
must extend to them or it cannot embrace the
whole subject. Under this power the navigation
proved, and we have no doubt that canals and
waterways may be opened to connect nayigable
bays harbors, apd rivers with each other or with
the interior OF the country"
After giving some citations the justice adds:
"St1l, It Is cOntended that although Congress may
have power to construct roads and other means OF
communication between the States, yet this can
only be done with the concurrence and consent of
the States In which the structures are made II
this Is so then the power OF regulation in Con-
gresS Is not supreme; 1t depends upon the will of
the States. We do not concur In this view. We
think that the power OF Congress is supreme over
the whole"

There was another surprise in the great Doodle
trial In Chicago yesterday. Commissioner Michael
